Please not Lizzo

Nick Cave would be great. Was there for his Mumfords subbing slot and the "how dare Glasto put this filth on before the Mumfords" messages at the time were absolutely hilarious especially given how triumphant a set Nick played that day. Do you all remember the reaching out to the girl in the crowd. A real Glastonbury Moment

Might be my imagination but I feel like he’s much more popular now than he was in 2013, think there’d be a lot less eyebrows raised these days. Hope so anyway.

Peaky Blinders wasn't even out yet at that point in 2013! I'd imagine there would still be raised eyebrows, but for different reasons

And drooping eyelids if he focuses on Ghosteen and Carnage material.

The rumours going around are it will be Peter Kay.

FTFY.

I'd imagine Peter Kay would be unannounced and do a bit during the change over than him in his own slot imo 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'd imagine Peter Kay will be absolutely nowhere near Glastonbury 2023.

Sweeping the stage slot ?

The thought of Pulp on the Other gives me the heebies cos you KNOW they’d be up against Elton. 

ugh you're so right. I hate the thought of this

The Carnage stuff is way more dynamic live, I must say.  

Still, I think Nick could headline the Other stage.  hopefully not an Elton clash

They’re supporting Pulp in Finsbury Park; I think Pyramid sub would be a step too far. Maybe earlier in the day? If they're there at all, given they played Park this year.

Calvin Harris as a warm up, bit different from the usual

Paramore

Maybe, but again, could see them headlining the Other.

Hopefully not against him. Elton gave them high praise on his Rocket Hour show.

They do always try and split the crowd a bit though, so whoever he's up against is likely to be a pretty strong draw.

[DareToDibble]

Under normal circumstances I would 100% agree Dua Lipa is headline or nothing, BUT with her being good mates with Elton and the prospect of an enormous Glastonbury crowd there for her set (some for her, some getting there early for Elton) I wonder if she would be swayed.

Dua > Elton would be absolutely incredible.

[CaledonianGonzo]

She would get an enormous crowd off her own bat.

Would certainly be quite something watching him blast away the Sunday picnic blanket faithful with obnoxious EDM 😟

[VCK]

Pulp

I reckon Lizzo will headline the Other.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Not sure why so many people are saying Cave as he spent nearly the whole of 22 on the road. I'd be surprised if they play, but if they do it will be a sub slot again for sure.

Would love them to play, but Pulp or Lizzo would be a fun time. As a friend of the festival I don't see Jarvis getting chucked on Other against Elton. I think they're more likely to be subs but if they're on Other I'd think Saturday.

[Zoo Music Girl]

FWIW, no contest between Elton and Pulp if it did happen. Jarv all the way.
